@Beerheadgamer82 at the very least you'll surely be able to use wallet top up to upgrade to premium for the remainder of your 3 months. Guess we'll find out soon
@Beerheadgamer82 I'm expecting to be given the option to upgrade for the remaining 6 month period I have left and pay the difference, and then after that have the option of 12 months. Just guessing though
Can you redeem the £50 store credit (as in the article) towards ps plus? So if retailers like shopto just stop selling PS plus codes but sell store credit at a slightly discounted rate, nothing changes does it?
Is this going to cost £70? A remake of a remaster of a recent game?
Are there really that many non gamers out there who will watch the TV series and think 'you know what, I must go and suddenly buy a £450 games console to play this'. And good luck finding one
After completing dying light 2 I went back to 1 now they've added 60fps. Finding it so difficult - don't remember it being this hard before. Struggling to find any decent weapons, weapons break really quickly, and the zombies require a good 10-20 hits before 'dying'. This is a great move by the devs though, will definitely check out the DLC.
One of the side quests tells you what happened to all the guns and ammo in the city. That, and the fact its set 20 years after the original explain their absence. One of the devs actually hinted at the stash being discovered one day - DLC maybe?
Actually finished this last night. Thought the end boss fight was pretty terrible - is that the best they could come up with in all the years it was in development? New game plus will be welcome, and there's still plenty of bugs that need fixing.
I have gallons of diesel stockpiled in my garage, I used to fill my old car up with it. I've recently bought an electric car but I can't put my diesel in it. I'm complaining to tesla.
So not even an apology for being unable to access the game?
"if possible would like to try to avoid a situation where a player must mechanically keep replaying certain events over and over again". So we've done the exact opposite and made you grind more.
Can anyone tell me what it means when I have the option to download story mode or the full game?
@FinneasGH for me, it was pushing gta online at me in the store. From that, if you click the 3 little dots icon, you can then select gta 5 ps5 version for £8.75
Appreciate they were working on the sequel, but this is too late now. Would have been ideal over Christmas in advance of the second game coming out. Good news though.
I don't know if there will ever be a game drought in the future where I'd consider firing up gta5 again. But if I don't fork out £10 for it now, will be kicking myself when it's full price. Damn you rockstar.
@meteors77 there's a few options on that mission. I think the 'best' outcome is to not use the credchip, hack it and gain 10k yourself. Depending on your other choices you can/cannot get a romantic encounter later in the game. Did you save Brick who was locked up too?
@ApostateMage loving this playthrough as female V. Any tips on dealing with cyberpsychos without killing them? I remember originally they wasn't even marked on the map, now they are. Did one but killed her...
Thanks for reviewing it again. I really enjoyed my time playing it during Christmas 2020 (admittedly on ps5) so was pretty gutted at the 3/10 score as I thought that was overly harsh. Great to see it gain some redemption and the devs get some credit - must have been awful for them being released 'early'.
I think a 7 or 8 is about right, lots still to do to improve it but at least it now functions and is a good base for DLC.
I'm playing this alongside dying light 2, and whilst I love them both for what they are, the characters in cyberpunk are so much more interesting and memorable.
@dre8472 cyberpunk, dying light, deathloop, ratchet & clank - all games I've tried on ps5 at 30fps and I've had to switch to 60fps.
I don't know if it's just me now being used to 60fps, or something with the way the ps5 is handling it, but I never remember titles on ps4 being this 'bad' and nauseating at 30fps, last of us 2 and witcher 3 play horribly to me on ps5 at 30fps.
@PenguinL with the free trial you surely have nothing to lose trying it out? I've had no crashes yet personally, which cannot be said for deathloop and ratchet & clank - games made specifically for ps5.
Still downloading, it's taking an age so will check it out tomorrow. Sounds positive though and I already enjoyed one backwards compat playthrough so this will be great. Hopefully this is the base game now for them to release some proper updates and DLC in the months to come.
I still don't understand, given the packaging, 1-2 discs, manufacturing and freight costs involved, why on earth digital games cost the same (most cases more) than physical.

Re: PS Plus Retail Cards Could Potentially Be Discontinued
@Ryany what tier of the new plus do you want? You won't have to pay a thing if you are happy with what you currently have

Re: Video: In Defence of The Last of Us' PS5 Remake
@Pat_trick I'm sure the PS staff will pass around their free copy to avid website readers once they've finished with it, save us paying £70 too
Re: Video: In Defence of The Last of Us' PS5 Remake
I don't think many people would have an issue with it, if it wasn't £70
Re: Poll: Will You Buy The Last of Us: Part I?
Not a chance at £70.
Re: Resident Evil Village Getting PSVR2 Support
Without spoilers for those waiting, there were some bits in the game I feel were made specifically with VR in mind. And they will be creepy AF

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS Plus Extra or Premium?
Amazes me the amount of people who expected/demanded trophies to be added to old games. Like who exactly is going to be doing all this work?

This is a great move by the devs though, will definitely check out the DLC.

Re: The Quarry Looks Like a Proper Until Dawn Successor in 30 Minutes of Gameplay
Still play and enjoy until dawn now and then, so will certainly be very interested in this

In the UK you can get £9 at Cex for selling gta4, so will get this for 'free' even if it never ends up being played.

Re: GTA 5 PS5 Price Is Looking Surprisingly Generous
@The_Pixel_King you'll likely need a ps+ subscription to claim it in the first place

Re: The Quarry Could Be the Next Game from Until Dawn Dev
Still like to play through until dawn now and then, holds up really well
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Horizon Forbidden West?
Still need to finish the first game, don't know what it is with this franchise but I've restarted about 4 times then something else grabs me.
It'll be a bargain by the time I pick it up.
